robert kennedy, robert kennedy, and lyndon johnson disliked each other intensely from the very beginning, when they met in the 1950's. i think bobby had opposed johnson being given the vice-presidency in the beginning. there was two sandals, one billy sol estes and one bobby baker. one thing moving about the bobby baker scandal is it threatened to reveal johnson's girlfriends, and jack's girlfriends. i think jack saw considerable common ground. there was a conversation, one of those fascinating conversations, bobby could be quite self-righteous, but there was a call from bobby to baker that they've been trying to quiet down the scandal. jack talked to bobby, we've got to do something bit, and bobby said to bobby baker, who was a man of let's say of not the most sterling character, but that, oh, we have great confidence in the president. we have great confidence in you. we know you're going to get through this, and all that was to keep bobby quiet about jack's affairs. host: let's go down to the republican line with don in st. petersburg. you're on the air. caller: and i have question for

kennedy acted because he felt he needed to act and be a man of action. he clearly came to regret it, as he said. >> wages have an election 90 months ago that was all about -- we just had an election 19 months ago that was all about leadership. ethics has come to play a larger role in elections. did you think of that mattered last time? >> you know more about this than i do, so i should turn it back to you. think about john mccain versus barack obama. i did not have a sense that we were choosing between what people thought of as one ethical, moral person and one who wasn't. there have been elections where that has been an issue. but also, ethics in leadership for me is not simply doing the moral thing. ethics in leadership is doing -- to be truly ethical as a leader, you owe it to the people of the organization that you lead to have a clear sense of where you are going, expressed clearly, and the state true to that. hypocrisy is one of the worst qualities of leadership. coming back to mccain and obama, i think we did not really know much about president o

edward kennedy was on the no-fly list. the no-fly list isn't particularly well managed. people who shouldn't be on it are on it. and people who should be on it, like the christmas day bomber, who almost made it out of the country, wasn't on it. here's the truth. we should not be taking constitutional rights away from citizens, and at the same time, giving constitutional rights to terrorists. and that's exactly what barbara boxer is in favor of doing. barbara boxer agrees that the vast majority of crimes committed with a gun are committed by criminals who have broken laws to acquire their guns, so let us prosecute those laws. let us prosecute those criminals. but let us not deny law-abiding citizens their constitutional rights, and instead, give constitutional rights to terrorists, as senator boxer would like to do. >> senator, your reply. >> it's hard to know how exactly to start. but let me say this. it's shocking to me that my opponent would say, if you are on that no-fly list, there's only a few thousand, i'm sure that if your sister wanted a gun, they would look and

as robert kennedy said, "the individual man, the child of god, is the touchstone of value, and all society, groups, the state, exist for his benefit." so we stand up for universal values because it's the right thing to do. but we also know from experience that those who defend these values for their people have been our closest friends and allies, while those who have denied those rights -- whether terrorist groups or tyrannical governments -- have chosen to be our adversaries. human rights have never gone unchallenged -- not in any of our nations, and not in our world. tyranny is still with us -- whether it manifests itself in the taliban killing girls who try to go to school, a north korean regime that enslaves its own people, or an armed group in congo-kinshasa that use rape as a weapon of war. in times of economic unease, there can also be an anxiety about human rights. america will partner with nations that offer their people a path out of poverty. and together, we must unleash growth that powers by individuals and emerging markets in all parts of the globe. there is no reason why afr
